Listen to this article

David K. Jr., by his guardian ad litem, appeals from the trial court order extending his CHIPS dispositional order “for one (1) year until March 30, 2001.” The guardian ad litem challenges the trial court’s decision, following a contested hearing, continuing David’s placement with Victoria J., his foster mother. The guardian ad litem argues that the trial court “failed to properly apply the evidence presented to the relevant best interest factors,” gave “undue weight to the child’s purported attachment to the foster mother and insufficient weight to the other factors,” and erred by excluding relevant evidence and limiting the testimony “to the issues of bonding and attachment.” This court concludes that the issues the guardian ad litem presents are moot.

Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.

This opinion will not be published.

Dist I, Milwaukee County, Murray, J., Schudson, J.
